NEC to develop ARM-based multiprocessing CPU cores
Oct. 28, 2003

NEC Electronics Corp. and ARM Ltd. are teaming up to develop and market a "next-generation" multiprocessor CPU core based on symmetric multi-processor (SMP) technology. The companies say the collaboration will leverage the broad range of existing software for the ARM processor core family along with NEC's multiprocessing technology. NEC says it plans to use the resulting ARM-based multiprocessor CPU cores to build future high-volume products such as home and automotive multimedia applications, and mobile handsets.

The companies describe the next-generation CPU core as "a high-performance embedded multiprocessor applying a leading-edge parallel processing technology and delivering better power efficiency than conventional CPU cores." In addition to collaborating on the design of the new core, they will also jointly develop software for the next-generation CPU core.

"Our partnership with NEC Electronics is a very significant endorsement for the ARM architecture, and will further strengthen momentum for the ARM11 technology in NEC Electronics' key sectors of automotive and home multimedia, and wireless," commented Warren East, CEO, ARM. "By collaborating with a global leader such as NEC Electronics, ARM is creating a new generation of high-performance solutions for media-rich consumer applications."

"We view this next-generation processor core as a key technology to expand the application-rich markets from car multimedia to mobile consumer," noted Hirokazu Hashimoto, executive vice president, NEC Electronics Corp.

Under the agreement, NEC Electronics has licensed the ARM11 family as well as ARM966E-S core and the VFP9 vector floating-point co-processor. The company has been an ARM Partner since 1995 with the ARM7TDMI core license, and followed this in 2000 with a license for the ARM946E-S™ core for use in mobile handsets.
